There are a few things for certain in this world: death, taxes, and the fact that Bob Dylan can't sing. Nonetheless, something about his illegible, drunken folk-rock drawl is so appealing to us as a listener.
We might be familiar with hits like "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Like A Rolling Stone", but I really hope you haven't missed this gem, "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright".
If you REALLY WANT TO BE SURE that this song is the real deal, bear in mind that Peter, Paul, and Mary, ELVIS, Johnny Cash, ELVIS, John Mayer, and, oh, yeah, ELVIS have covered this song. When ELVIS covers a song of yours, you KNOW it's great.
I had to look up the lyrics, because you're better off trying to figure out the lyrics to "Come On, Eileen" than a Bob Dylan song. It's actually kind of a break-up song. Bob Dylan's all like "I've had enough of your BS, bro, I'm deucing out."
Unfortunately, there isn't a full version of the original on YouTube, so I apologize for that. I recommend checking out the Johnny Cash cover if you want to hear the full version, since his is the only one I've heard that does the original justice. Anyway, enjoy!
